Although the discount stores in Goreville’s central shopping
district are expected to close within five years as a result of
competition from a SpendLess discount department store that just
opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long. In the five
years since the opening of Colson’s, a nondiscount department
store, a new store has opened at the location of every store in the
shopping district that closed because it could not compete with
Colson’s.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the
argument?
A. Many customers of Colson’s are expected to do less shopping
there than they did before the SpendLess store opened.
B.Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central
shopping district since Colson’s opened have been discount stores.
C.At present, the central shopping district has as many stores
operating in it as it ever had.
D.Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that
Goreville’s population will grow at a faster rate than it has for
the past several decades.
E. Many stores in the central shopping district sell types of
merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson’s
